Gatsby's Secrets: the Hidden Motifs, Moments, and Metaphors that Shape Fitzgerald's Masterpiece In-Person

Join local author Robert Kyff, Hartford Courant writer, and teacher at Kingswood Oxford, for a discussion of his book, Gatsby's Secrets: The Hidden Motifs, Moments, and Metaphors That Shape Fitzgerald's Masterpiece. This discussion will let us readers think about The Great Gatsby a little differently. What’s the real reason behind Gatsby’s pursuit of Daisy? Is Nick Caraway a reliable narrator? Why does Daisy cry when Gatsby shows her his elegant shirts? What subtle literary techniques create the charm, humor, and eloquence of Fitzgerald’s prose? Registration required. Sponsored by the Friends of the Library.
